Lands End Canvas Cowl Neck Dress

[njk07]

I couldn't resist starting a thread on this because the other thread is getting too long. As I understand the sizes run big? I am 5'3" and less than 110 pounds BUT still have my baby belly from the 2 kids. I hope the smaller sizes are not too tight? Thoughts?

[abh5e8]

you are my twin! i was going to get on in XXS, due to post by a mama that at 5'5" 115 said the XXS was a good fit and the XS was too big....

but, now all the XXS are sold out. grrr.

wow, that sounds like the sizes really run big! maybe I'll still try to the XS. thanks.

Thanks for starting this thread! I jumped on the bandwagon and bought a small because that's my new Lands' End size (since I STILL haven't lost the twin baby weight). I'm about 5'-0" and 117 lbs and I don't like my clothes to be tight. Will this look ridiculous?

I am 5'7" and 130ish pounds and the small fits me nicely.

Glad to hear this because I'm the same size and ordered the small.

[DrSally]

I'm 5'4" 135-140 and the small fit great

[overcome]

Uh oh
I'm 5"2" 130-135 and I ordered Medium. Hope its not too big. Although I don't need it to be tight, IMO a dress like this looks better when it's a little clingy.

Oh well. With everything I ordered, there's bound to be some returns.

[KDsMommy]

I'm 5'5" and around 150 lbs (uggggggggg that kills me to write that) and I ordered a medium. I hope it fits right and doesn't show bulges.

[tarnator]

Phew. This is me too, and I ordered small too. I was worried!

I think that will be big.

I'm 5' 4" and 140-something and ordered a small.

[brittone2]

Uh oh. I think I ordered smalls (2 dresses). I'm 5'3" and about 118-120 right now. I am always worried about cling around my middle (I have a little mummy tummy courtesy of my diastasis). I wonder if it should have been xs or small. I still think I'm kinda in between!

Even when I read the reviews for canvas items carefully, I seem to always be in between sizes, and often order everything in 2 different sizes to figure it out. Maybe I should have done that with the dress.

[daisy13]

i am 5' 8' and about 143 pounds..still have a littler mommy tummy- Medium?

[lchang25000]

I am 5'7" and 130ish pounds and the small fits me nicely.

Catherine

Thanks! My stats exactly!

[Melbel]

I am between 5'7" and 5'8", 128 pounds and ordered a small. I am a bit busty and have broader shoulders so it may not work out for me. Normally I am a size 2 on the bottom and size 6 or 8 on top so I am in between sizes too. It sounded like the dress ran on the larger side, so I opted for the small.

[brittone2]

Oh dear. I just placed order #5 for 2 cowls in xs so I can compare to the smalls I already ordered. Ahem.

I also threw in another cowl neck tee (from regular lands end) in my cart. Saw these in store today and they looked like they ran small. I ordered xs in reg. lands end (my normal size there) but I am wondering if they'll fit. So I threw a small cowl neck tee in my cart so I can compare the fit.

Oh boy.

Oh, donner still worked for me.

Did anyone get a shipping notice yet? I have placed multiple orders over the past 2-3 days but haven't gotten any shipping notices yet.

[echoesofspring]

no shipping notices yet, I have 2 orders from Friday....

[overcome]

I think that will be big.

No worries, after reading the pea coat thread, I ordered one of those for DD so I figured I'd order a small sized cowl necked dress for me :-)

[junebaby07]

I think I am going to order the Cowl neck dress too! I am short (5'3") and usually wear a 12P from places like Ann Taylor (I hate writing that - need to lose the baby weight). Should I get a Medium? I wear size medium sweaters in canvas, but I am nervous about the hip area looking tight and unflattering.

[mom2mack&max]

Anyone who is tall and already has tried it on? Looking at the model, it is fairly short on her. I would wear it with tights, but still don't want a super mini! I am 5'11, 140lbs.

[citymama]

If I order, I am thinking about an XS - 110 lb, 5'5" and no chest! XXS seems crazy small.

[AnnieW625]

I'm 5'5" and around 150 lbs (uggggggggg that kills me to write that) and I ordered a medium. I hope it fits right and doesn't show bulges.

We'll see. I am 5'6" and 180 (that is even a harder number to write than 150, but I have an athletic frame so it doesn't look as bad as it seems, although I'd do anything to weigh 150 again (pre kids weight) and I thought I was overweight by 20lbs then!:() and also ordered a medium. I have had horrible luck with regular LE clothes size wise so if the medium is a little too tight the large is going to be too big and boxy on me. This is my first Canvas order so I honestly have no clue how the clothes are going to fit.

XXS is also out of stock I think.

It is a good thing everyone here lives in different parts of the country. It would be hilarious if there was a BBB live event and everyone showed up in the same Lands End dress. :hysterical:

Shoot, I am 5'7" and 180 and I ordered a L, maybe I need to go back for order #6?

(Really, I am just looking for an excuse) :)

xxs *IS* crazy in theory. But you need the xxs. I'm about that size and ordered both xs and xxs, xxs wins.

Sizing is so screwed up.

[Jo..]

I didn't buy the dress, and you can't make me. :wavey::hysterical:

Somehow I don't think it would look as good on me (tall and chubby) as it does on all of you extra smalls.

OH! We are a similar size, but I am a couple inches taller.

I might buy this just for the tag. I will cut it out and frame it on my wall. "See??? I'm a size M"!:thumbsup:

I think that is an excellent idea :)

Yeah, I am a little intimidated by the XXS orders for the dress, but I figure it is worth a shot, I really want to find a sweater/knit dress that doesn't look awful!

I was about to order and then found every color in my size had sold out. It was a sign--DH is already going to be unhappy about the four orders I placed this month (some of the stuff I ordered for him presale but the prices went up making it close enough to a wash to not deal with trying to figure out which item is cheaper which way)

Well, I am 5'7" and it is above the knee, but not a mini on me. Not sure how much that helps. . .
